Net-ICT is grounded in a student-centred constructivist learning approach. The Faculty Coordinator and year teachers collaboratively develop sequenced learning materials which they can publish to the web in twenty seconds. Come assignment time, using a modified Gagne Conditions of Learning, the teacher needs to spend one or two lessons in 'teacher talk'. The rest of the time is spent guiding and coaching the students in English literacy as they complete their assigned activities.

Constructivist pedagogy also encourages the use of student self-evaluation and peer evaluations. So the teacher assessment and marking time can be kept to a minimum. Learning activities typically follow a simple pattern of design, build, evaluate. Students submit what they have completed at each stage. There is usually no such thing as a studnet who fails to submit. So time adminstrative time is reduced by not needing to follow studnets up with detentions and the like.
